I wish I could say there was some deep meaning but it is the name of my local supermarkets discount card program!

I always wondered about your name! My is just, I am a saver, at least I try to be.

Re: How did you chose your forum name?

Because currently I have no credit cards!! I've always been good with them, but just have tried to do without for the time being. It's getting difficult in preparing for a move...my cash supply is dwindling!

You don't have any, or you have them but don't use them?

Re: How did you chose your forum name?

Years ago, as a graphic design student, I decided to pick an email moniker that would fit in with my chosen profession, look good on my CV, etc. I came up with neatdesign. The "design" part was for obvious reasons. The "neat" part because of its double-meaning: "neat" as in cool/interesting, and "neat" as in tidy/organized. Both elements are important to good design. It wasn't too long before I started using it as my username in various online forums.

Re: How did you chose your forum name?

I wonder if I should have given some more thought to my name. Ehh!

For some reason I like(d) mokeys - I have no idea why. Ever since becoming a mom I go by monkey mama online most of the time. Easy to remember I guess.

Currently, I don't have any. I think I cancelled the last one in May of this year.

It really has only been a problem once. My husband went out of town and misplaced his debit card. Since he was on army duty, he still had a place to sleep and eat meals and a ride home, but when he wanted gum or a pop...he was out of luck.

I've been really tempted lately...but I haven't given in.

Oh, and our credit score is in the 800's!!!

I use to shoot IPSC (International Practical Shooting Confederation) competitions, and one of the guns I used was a Glock model 35.

My parents always called me amberbamber when I was growing up...hence the name

Mathew Green: Fictional character in one of my favorite books, "At the Sound of the Beep" by Marilyn Sachs. Mathew and his sister run away from home but discover the person they plan to hide out with isn't at home, so they end up living in a park with the homeless people and learn some valuable lessons about life. (Primary plotline complication is that someone is murdering the homeless people, seemingly at random!)

You can't get much more frugal than living in a park with just the clothes on your back, and eating out of garbage cans. In Mathew's place I'd probably have lasted about 36 hours before calling it quits and going home!
